VOLTAGE DROP TEST (Cont.)
Connect small leads to the battery
or along the circuit being tested as
illustrated in the setup and press
(Y Enter).
Then connect large leads to either
the alternator or starter or any
generic load such as a winch or
even a stereo connected to the
battery.
If all connections are correct, wait
for a load to be applied.
The results will vary depending
upon and the conditions of the
cables. Both the positive and
negative circuit results will be
indicated from the single test.
If the overall voltage drop is not within the desired specifications the
small red lead can be moved closer along the line being tested at some
junction and the test can be run again. If the results are desirable, it is
the section not included in the second test, but included in the first that is
bad. If the results are still not desirable, you can move the small red lead
closer and retest until you locate the problem.
